    The workshop was led by the short-term International Expert for Teacher Development, Chris Waller. This is a follow-up to his workshops in Kyiv and Vinnytsa in February 2007 and to the workshop held by the short-term International Expert for Assessment.

The main aims of the workshop were:
    ° To clarify issues relating to assessment and its importance for civic education
    ° To look at assessment for learning, as well as assessment of learning
    ° To look at student participation in assessment, including peer and self-assessment
    ° To look at experience and best practice in Ukraine
    ° To develop and discuss an assessment task
    The workshop will contribute to teachers’ and methodologists understanding of assessment and how to assess civic education activities.
